Montana Southern railroad opens 40 miles toward Elk Horn
The Montana Southern railway advances toward Elk Horn from Divide, with steel laid within five miles and progress near a mile per day. The line will connect Boston & Montana Development mining interests to smelting at Elk Horn, later extending toward Wisdom. It will serve trade from Big Hole cattle, horses, hay, timber, and ore concentrates, boosting local towns like Allentown and Dewey Flats as it progresses.
